The only way I can get inetd to accept the above line is without the 
comma's, then it will run but of course not work.  Or does it? I just 
found, on the same screen as firefox is running on, 2 green screens from 
the coco that look like they were generated by httpd as a logging screen?  
They are movable, and don't appear to be associated with firefox.  They 
each say

GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST 127.0.0.1:6309 (or 192.168.xx.x:6309, the local net addy of this 
machine)
USER-AGENT yadda yadda
ACCEPT (3 lines of that)
Connection: keep-alive

 <- with a curser here, but zip response from my typing

Firefox itself is hung forever trying to load the page.  And I get a new 
coco window on or behind the firefox screen for every attempted access to 
port 6309 from this machine using firefox.

So, what did I stumble over this time?  Here is that /dd/sys/inetd.conf

6809 telnet protect banner,login,
6810 proc,
6309 runb httpd

FWIW, port 6810 doesn't get me a proc report, nor do I get any response 
from port 6809.

I wonder, do I need to kill iptables?  brb.  Isn't running. I thought it 
was.
